In 2023, the national annual road freight transport of secondary raw materials, municipal, and other wastes loaded in border regions in the UK stood at a significant level of activity. Forecasts from 2024 onwards suggest a steady decline, with a decrease from 1.78 million metric tons in 2024 to 0.92899 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year percentage change indicates a consistent diminishing trend, reflecting a contraction in this transportation sector. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights an average decline annually.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of policy changes on waste management, technological advancements in recycling, and shifts in international trade agreements influencing cross-border waste transport.
